Theology, Fantasy, and the Imagination is a comprehensive exploration of the theological, philosophical, and religious imagination found in fantasy literature, the theological imagination, and table-top games. Part I begins with an invocation to the study through a theological reflection of the "old magic." Part II delves into classical Christian fantasy, examining dogmatic theological reflection on the fantastic imagination and analyzing the works of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Part III explores the post-Christian turn in fantasy after 1960, featuring methodological, theological, and philosophical essays that reflect a movement beyond Christianity in fantasy literature and writings by Rabbi Shagar, Ursula le Guin, Terry Pratchett, Robert Jordan, David Eddings, and Brandon Sanderson, as well as Orson Scott Card. Part IV concludes with two analyses of the religious and philosophical dimensions of table-top games, including Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: the Gathering. Through its astute analyses, Theology, Fantasy, and the Imagination sheds light on how theological fantasy truly operates by elucidating the religious, philosophical, and theological aspects of the fantastic imagination.
